DEPUTE NOMBLOT (Cayeux) 
Rated among the finest irises in commerce, this former Dykes Medal 
winner has received praise from many lands. It is of French origin, 
and was shown for the first time in this country in 1930. The stan¬ 
dards are a light rosy purple overlaid with bronzy gold, and the 
falls are a velvety garnet red shaded with purple. A strong grower. 
3 feet. 35c,• 3 for 75c 
DOG ROSE (Insole) 
Without doubt this is one of the most desirable of the pink toned 
irises. The color is exceptionally clean and strong and the flower is 
glorified by a deep gold beard. Dog Rose has come to us from 
England, where it won a silver medal. We believe we are fortunate 
in having a fine stock of this variety but do not anticipate that it 
will last through the entire season. 4 feet. 
See illustration, page 12. 35c,- 3 for 75c 
DOROTHY DIETZ (Williamson) 
For a landscape iris, this variety is ideal. The standards are white 
faintly Rushed with blue, while the falls are a bright violet paling 
at the edges. You will be pleased with the effectiveness of this 
iris in your garden. 3 feet. 25c,- 3 for 50c 
DRUID (Sturtevant) 
Although not widely known, this iris is quite a favorite in our 
garden. The large flowers are a mixture of maroon, old gold and 
brown, with a golden haft and beard; the combination giving a 
decided bronze effect. Viewed with the sunlight coming through 
the falls, Druid has a decided charm. 3H feet. 25c,- 3 for 50c 
EARLY MASS (C. G. White) 
A tall light blue iris that has lost nothing of grace and charm by 
attaining height and size. It stands fifty inches tall with flowers in 
proportion on perfectly spaced branches. A leading iris authority 
in her 1935 notes wrote as follows: "I cannot imagine any color 
lovelier than this, it is so smooth and pure. The standards are slightly 
bluer in tone than the falls. The soft, broad, tapering beard is tipped 
with warm yellow.’’ In 1936 her notes say: “Must note again the 
grace and dainty poise of this beautiful flower—also its exceptional 
blue tone—one stem is 54 inches tall.” 
From Tennessee comes the remark: “The clearest tone of blue I 
have seen in an iris,- fine in all respects.” $2.50 
EASTER MORN (Essig) 
This iris has everything the name suggests. The flowers are a pure 
virgin white with a sparkle and sheen that reminds one of a lovely 
satin wedding dress. The glowing yellow center gives a warmth of 
beauty that is beyond description. The falls are stiff, wide flaring, and 
of unusual substance. Foliage is exceptionally large and vigorous, and 
in California is green and attractive the year around. A clump of 
Easter Morn in full bloom is truly a sight to behold. Height 4 feet. 
See illustrations on pages 8 and 20. 50c,• 3 for $1.00 
EL CAPITAN (Mohr) 
One of the largest flowered irises we grow and a variety that 
stands out. Violet in color—highly recommended for California. 
4 feet. 35c ; 3 for 75c 
ELECTRA (J. Sass) 
A large early-blooming plicata with blue margins on a white 
ground and golden-brown venation along the haft. Blooms are 
well-rounded and of good size. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
EROS (Mead) 
One of the newer pinkish irises, having a 36-inch stem, with three 
short branches. As the flower opens it is deep ashes of roses, which 
fades to a pale shade of the same color. A clump is lovely in the 
garden. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Williamson) 
A coppery, red-toned iris which has received a great deal of 
favorable comment. It has been called one of the reddest of red 
irises. It is rich and dark with yellow in the haft, veined brownish- 
purple. The standards are the same color as the falls except that 
the falls have a velvety texture. $ 1.00
